Rudolf Steiner and the Experience of Spiritual Community

MARCH PUBLIC ONLINE WORKSHOP WITH CHRISTOPHER SCHAEFER, PhD

In this workshop, Dr. Schaefer will explore the qualities of conversation and the threshold experiences we can have in dialogue with others and with the spirit. Rudolf Steiner suggested that the more we can practice a conscious dialogue with the spirit in groups the more quickly the earth and human culture would be spiritualized. What did he mean and how can we best practice sacred conversation in our life?

Each workshop on Zoom includes small group exercises and reflections shared in the full group. Artistic and imaginative exercises will be used to open up biographical experiences. And, as always, we will practice listening deeply.

The monthly workshops are not recorded to respect the confidentiality of participants. The cost for public workshops is on a sliding scale from $25.00 to $100.00.

You will receive a Zoom link a day prior to the workshop.
